Interrupts are not disabled when perf_output_read_group reads PMU counter.
In this case, IPI request may be received from other cores.
As a result, PMU configuration is modified and an error occurs when
reading PMU counter:

Is there anything else that needs to be modified in this patch?
Or are there any conditions to consider?
Thanks,
